We were struck with the fact that this is a crucial, if not the key, ingredient to the Grammar Stage of classical Christian education. We learned that these students simply spent a small amount of time each day going through a long list of things to commit to memory. It is amazing what can be memorized in twenty minutes a day. At www.VeritasPress. com/MemoryPeriod.htm you will see the way Veritas Academy executes this. Below, find important materials used that are not found elsewhere in the catalog. The success we have realized with the Phonics Museum is unparalleled. Children are not only learning to read quickly, but loving the process. Rebecca G. of Charlotte, North Carolina writes: “I want my children to be exposed to the arts and music and to love learning . . .. Thank you so much for writing a program that not only appeals to the child, but also to my adult tastes and desires. Your program has the elements that I would put into a program if I would have the time and the abilities to write a program for my children. And I can trust the people who have written it as well.” The Veritas Press Phonics Museum incorporates the very best timetested techniques of several hundred years in a fun history- and art-based program that parents, teachers, and children will be drawn to again and again.

We don’t teach science in grammar school—meaningful science requires certain language and mathematical mastery. Yet scientific memorization is important, and this is the tool. Sing “Oh Bacteria” instead of “Oh Suzanna” and “Cold Blooded Vertebrates” instead of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home.” Entertain the grandparents at Thanksgiving for some great laughs. CD, text, and workbook.

Soft 96p #210-495 $14.99 Modern Manuscript: Daily Handwriting Practice Jill Norris For those seeking extra handwriting practice in modern manuscript. A terrific supplement to the Phonics Museum. Soft 37p #210-315 $16.99 The Westminster Shorter Catechism Songs Holly Dutton When our boys were younger we had them memorize all 107 answers to the Shorter Catechism. Why? Because the questions and answers provide a clear and concise, yet comprehensive, statement of doctrine and beliefs of Christianity—clarity of what they believe that will benefit them all their lives. We’ve also always been huge proponents of memorizing with music. Imagine our delight when we discovered the clear pronunciation and simple melodic tunes of Dutton’s production. We know that you’ll love all four audio CDs. We wish we’d had them.
